thx 2forme - by vents and the metal frame, do u mean the air vents for driver and passenger? if so isnt there the soft plastic dash which covers those vents? i cant see a metal frame that you refer to.

Also, i got the unit today thanks to your advice

So I am wiring it up, although I'm not sure what to do with the following wires from the head unit:

p.cntr (amplifier signal input) wire
p.ant (auto radio antenna) wire

I've hooked the rest of them as appropriate into the metra wiring harness, and the only wires that I haven't connected from the metra harness (and I'm not sure what to do with) are :

power antenna wire
amp turn on wire
amp ground wire
dimmer wire
phone mute wire

I also purchased the 40-LX11 antenna adapter. I assume the Headunit p.ant wire links to the blue wire of the 40-lx11 antenna adapter, leaving the metra harness power antenna wire unused?

your advice as always would be much appreciated, and sorry if it was heaps to read >< !
